Cardiff City blogger Scott Johnson is excited by the young Bluebirds talent but insists fans must keep the bigger picture in mind.

As disappointing as last season was on and off the pitch, there have been plenty of positives in recent months.

The emergence of several exciting prospects is always a cause for optimism, with the likes of Mats Moller Daehli, Declan John and Jazzi Barnum-Bobb looking the part. Cardiff City have also enjoyed a prosperous transfer window, recouping most of last year’s outlay and bringing in good players without breaking the bank.

They also managed to hold on to David Marshall, their reigning player of the year and potentially their most important player.

But more importantly, everyone appears to be singing from the same song sheet with regards to the rebrand and the need to return to blue.

There appear to have been turning points. The sacking of Malky Mackay roused supporters who until then had tolerated the change to red as a means to an end.

The season ticket price freeze also melts this year, which means a big jump in cost for a large proportion of Cardiff’s supporters next year.

Should Cardiff return to the Premier League, the lure of the top flight will not be as strong this time round. Alternatively, if Cardiff are marooned in the Championship, the club will have a real problem on their hands and very little bargaining power.

They would have to throw fans a bone and if the demand for a return to their traditional colours is still there, it would be the obvious thing to do. In theory.

Whatever, enjoy another Cardiff City roller-coaster season, get behind your team and cheer on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s talented and likeable squad.
